[c-nsp] Interface ignored errors - sizing and allocating buffers

Hi,

I've got a C7206-NPE200 router that's seeing a regular amount of ignored 
errors on a policed interface (input). There's also the occassional 
overun.

The CPU on this router is currently:

CPU utilization for five seconds: 65%/63%; one minute: 62%; five minutes: 
62%

Is this caused by not having enough buffers available, or the CPU usage? 
The only interface I see this on is the one with the policer - there's 
another interface that carries a similar amount of traffic and it doesn't 
exhibit these issues.

Is there anyway to size and allocate extra internal buffers to the 
ethernet interface to prevent the errors?

Sam
